Older girl leadership at day camp
Our camp is not open to visitors during camp sessions so that we may provide a safe and secure environment for all participants. All participants and staff must be registered prior to camp in order to attend. Please plan to visit the camps during the open house to see the units, staff and program areas.
Day camp aides have long been a part of the day camp experience. Day camp aides provide a variety of skills, talents, and support to younger campers while continuing to develop their leadership skills in an adult supported and supervised environment.
Meals
If you want to be a day camp aide this summer, here’s what you need to do: Attend a day camp Aide-in-Training week at Camp Dellwood (for new day camp aides).
Lunches and snacks for each day will be provided. Thursday dinner, evening snack, and Friday breakfast are provided for those staying overnight. To ensure camper safety, food allergies and/ or special diets cannot be accommodated. No discount can be provided if a camper does not eat the camp meals or snacks.
This training is designed to reinforce basic skills and to give a foundation for leading and working with younger girls in the outdoors. During the week the girls will also complete the Program Aide Training. Registered Girl Scouts must have completed 7th grade. Cost is $30. The fee of the training includes materials, a day camp T-shirt and patch.
